Contradictions and gaps
- Detention facility after February 2023: Minghui and the CHRD record say 普东看守所 (Pudong Detention Center); the WOIPFG notice says 青岛市第一看守所 (Qingdao No. 1 Detention Center). The discrepancy is unresolved — no facility is stated in the profile.
- The exact criminal charge is not stated in any source; do not speculate.
- The appeal outcome has not been reported; the profile does not assume the sentence was changed.
- No PRC official or state-media coverage located; court records are not publicly accessible.
